Three representative engagements from the past two years. Identifying details changed for client confidentiality.
A fast-growing e-commerce company was spending $4.2M/year on AWS with no visibility into where the money was going. Their engineering team had grown quickly and infrastructure decisions had been made independently across three product teams, resulting in significant duplication and waste.
Comprehensive 2-week audit covering all AWS accounts. Identified 847 resources across EC2, RDS, and data transfer. Built a prioritized optimization roadmap ranked by dollar value and implementation effort.
43% AWS cost reduction ($1.8M annual savings), 12 idle RDS instances decommissioned, Savings Plans coverage increased from 31% to 78%, Cost visibility dashboards built for all three product teams
A mid-size financial services firm needed to migrate a mission-critical trading platform from on-premise data centers to AWS. The system processed $2B+ in daily transaction volume and had an SLA requiring 99.97% availability. Internal teams had attempted the migration twice before and rolled back both times.
4-week discovery and architecture phase, 2-week parallel environment build, 2 full rehearsal cutovers before production, 72-hour hypercare with the original environment on standby.
Zero unplanned downtime, 99.97% availability maintained throughout, 40% infrastructure cost reduction post-migration, Full DR capability established for first time, Complete IaC coverage of the new environment
A healthcare SaaS company with 200+ hospital customers was deploying infrastructure changes manually, taking 4+ hours per environment and requiring constant engineer involvement. The process was error-prone and had caused three HIPAA-adjacent incidents in 18 months.
Full IaC conversion using Terraform, CI/CD pipeline implementation with mandatory plan review and automated rollback, SOC 2 compliance instrumentation built directly into the infrastructure code.
Deployment time reduced from 4 hours to 12 minutes (95% reduction), Zero manual infrastructure changes in production since implementation, SOC 2 Type II audit passed with zero infrastructure findings, Engineering team reported "significant reduction in deployment anxiety" in post-engagement survey
